Windows10logoWe are welcome you to try Rohos Logon Key and Rohos Disk Encryption software on a new amazing operating system released by Microsoft recently.

And we would like to publish a few notes about Windows 10 support.

For Rohos Logon Key:

  • After installing Windows 10 please update it with the latest (Aug 5) Cumulative Update for Windows 10. This will fix an issue when all credentials icons may disappear from logon screen.

For Rohos Disk Encryption:

  • Main window > Tools menu commands sometimes leads to “Script error” error message. Just click on Command name a few more times to use it.
  • “Unable to Format drive” error appears after Rohos Disk Create command. You need to format new Rohos disk volume by using Windows explorer.

We are working to resolve these issues.

For example, we’ve created a user account User321, and assigned a
password for it. For administrative purposes we have got an Admin with
his own password on the same machine.
